GSA partners with March for Science

Author

On Earth Day, April 22, 2017, scientists and other community members across the world will be assembling in a public display of support for science. The March for Science is a non-partisan rally and teach-in to be held in Washington, DC, along with a network of affiliated events taking place at more than 300 locations worldwide.

The Genetics Society of America (GSA) is pleased to announce it is now an official partner of March for Science, which aims to champion robustly funded and publicly communicated science as a pillar of human freedom and prosperity.

We encourage members to show their support for science and its critical role in improving lives and informing public policy by taking part in one of the March for Science events. And most importantly, we encourage you to continue to speak up after the March, to call on policymakers to invest in scientific advances, to enact policies that build on scientific evidence, and to encourage communication and engagement between scientists and the public they serve. GSA works year-round to pursue these goals, but we depend on your input, energy, and support to make a difference.
